Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling very breast, and when pressed, it's a bit painful. It seems there are hard lumps inside. Sometimes my bra is wet, and when gently squeezed, liquid can be expelled with a somewhat unpleasant odor. It's very strange, and it's been almost a month. My menstrual cycle is also a bit irregular, and I often have lower back pain.What is the cause of nipple discharge?
Doctor's answer:
First, consider breast cystic hyperplasia, which is more common in women aged 30-50. The main symptoms are breast tenderness and lumps, which fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. Sometimes there may be nipple discharge, which can be bloody, brown, or yellow-green.My suggestion is to undergo further ultrasound examination for a detailed check-up. In this case, conservative treatment is usually the foundation. You can wear a bra to support the breasts and take oral medications such as Xiaoyao pills and Xiaojindan. Additionally, you may consider taking 5% potassium chloride and vitamin E. Regular follow-up is recommended. For those with severe local inflammation or a family history of cancer, surgical treatment can be considered. Don’t worry.
